Wow, it has honestly been over 20 years since I remember a real Christmas tree in my place. I could smell those ones in the photos though it sure brings back memories. All the decorations and waking up early for eggnog and presents, those were the days.
It's just me and the parents that Celebrate a quiet and quaint Christmas no real trees or any trees for that matter just a nice turkey dinner and each other's company. I use to miss the big celebrations we use to have with more of the family, but we don't really talk to many of the relatives over the last 15-20 years.
I have come to love and enjoy the little things and have also been pretty introverted for the past few years now. But nothing could beat the smell of fresh pine that was always a joy to wake up to. I haven't gone out in well over a year so I don't know if I will be able to have a post for this awesome initiative, but I really enjoyed reading this post and seeing all the pictures.
If I do happen to be in a marketplace in the next little while I will definitely take some pictures we have a local farmer market here but I believe it is shut down for the winter.

Well, you don't really need a tree to celebrate! I was living in temporary houseing (hotel) with kids one year and had a tree that we had gotten. We were in Germany at the time and our house ended up being a no show. Two days before Christmas, the hotel people came in and took our fire hazard away, then added insult to injury and put it up in their lobby!
Anyway, our Christmas was still nice, just a little different and they were young and remember it as a much better time than it was. LOL Time has a way of fading the less than great memories. Families are funny things, one minute you have 200 relatives and the next moment, people have grown differnt lives, especially as we move away after graduation or go to an out of state school.
It's always the little things in life for me! You will find that many people on here are introverted in real life. The internet allows them to become more, if you will. That is a great thing, in my opinion. People misunderstand #MarketFriday. We have gotten a lot more creative with nobody going out much. I have used museums, movies, internet sales, a manicure... anything you spend money on for an item or service. It's not that hard, but, it is a challenge! Thanks for the LUV!
#MarketFriday loves you!
